Full description

A koi pond is a much bigger, colder and less controlled space than an aquarium, so a pond food usually has to do more than one job at once — feed the fish, and ideally not cloud the water while it's at it.

This is an equal blend of natural-coloured and orange sticks, with spirulina added at a stated level for colour. Pettex describe it as formulated for a superior range of pond, koi and ornamental fish rather than one species alone, and it's sold here in a 10KG bag.

What's missing from this pack. No feeding rate is printed on this bag, and no claim is made that it's nutritionally complete on its own — better treated as one part of a varied pond diet than the whole of it, especially if you're not already feeding a fuller Pettex range alongside it.

Who it's for: keepers of koi and ornamental pond fish who want a two-tone stick food with spirulina for colour, particularly where a mixed diet across the pond already exists.

Pettex General Pond Stick Mixed

Why we chose it

It's a straightforward 10kg bag at a price that makes sense for a whole pond rather than a tank. The mixed natural and orange sticks are also a cheap way to add spirulina to the diet without buying a separate colour-enhancing food on top.
